Cylindrian passed this notecard along to me tonight with some very sad news...

Bloggers, SL Music Fans, and Friends you can help us make a difference in someone's Real Life!

Phoenix Psaltery and his SL/RL wife Sansarya Caligari are both long-time, well known residents in SL. He owns part of one of the oldest SL newspapers, The Metaverse Messenger, and Sans blogs about her passionate love for SL fashion. They are both very supportive of the Live music scene in SL as well.

Just a few days ago, Phoenix went into complete renal failure and has ended up in intensive care at a hospital away from his home town, with a shunt for dialysis. Unfortunately, there are other complications as well, including pneumonia. Finances have gotten dire for them as Sans has to stay at a hotel while he's in ICU, not to mention other expenses that are incurred and with children left at home in the care of relatives.

So their SL friends have joined together to help them! We are putting on an all day auction and live DJ event. Many people have donated items such as transferable Dazzle dresses, and merchants such as myself have made limited editions for sale at this auction only.

The event starts Saturday August 23 at 10AM SLT, with a fabulous DJ line up.

And here's a taste of what's for auction:

* Limited Edition Purple Latex Kimono by Zorena Deckard (Ookami Ningen)
* RL original oil painting by Jen (from Jen) SL name Schechinah Enoch (title: Currents Oil on Canvas 2004 20"x24") Free shipping is included if it gets a price of $250USD or more.
This is a minimum so the auction should start at that price for this item.
